yes. PC->Monomachine is all you need to update the OS. BUT be warned that
backing up your data prior to updates is highly recommended. the OS1.0
update claimed that a factory reset was needed in order to hear the
presets. but on first boot (after updating) I found my Mono with
only the presets on it and my songs/kits/patterns completely gone.
luckily I had backed them up prior to updating.

Anyway, just thought I would warn you in case you have anything in there
that you don't want to lose.
